Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 25, 1905.

Application filed September 29, 1904. Serial No. 226,496.

To all whcrn it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN (J. TANTY, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Tennis-Nets, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to tennis-nets which may be suspended indoors as well as outdoors. Heretofore it has been found impossible to use such nets in an ordinary living-room. The construction overcomes that difliculty, as will appear from the accompanying drawing and the following description.

The figure represents the net suspended ready for the game to be played.

A represents a cord or tape forming part of the net attached at B to a hook or screw inserted in the molding or other available support in the room.

C represents weights attached, by means of a cord or otherwise, to the foot of the net in order to stretch it at the desired points.

After thus describing my invention, What I desire to claim and secure by Letters Pat ent is The combination of a tennis-net, ropes attached to the same capable of being fastened to hooks on a molding, and weights suspended from said tennis-net substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof I hereunto set my- JEAN c. TANTY.

Witnesses: I
